This week in class we have been focusing on nurturing characters through our INSPIRE Ethos. We have spent time talking about kindness and how we treat others, and it has been lovely to see so many children putting this into practice. Nurturing character dojos have been given out to children who have really stood out for showing care and kindness towards others.
We are also very proud of the children who have been earning stickers on their bookmark reading trackers for reading at home three or more times this week. Keep up the great effort with home reading.
In singing assembly, we sang Firework and the children joined in enthusiastically.
In Maths, we have been exploring dividing with remainders, scaling, and solving problems in different ways. The children worked on finding multiple solutions using multiplication to support their thinking.
In Geography, we have been learning about rivers and their features, focusing on the upper, middle and lower course.
In Computing, we have been exploring how to sequence sprites (characters) in Scratch.
In Science, we enjoyed a hands-on lesson exploring rocks. The children used observation and touch to help decide whether rocks were sedimentary, metamorphic or igneous.
In English, we have started exploring Selvi’s emotions in The Girl That Lost a Leopard. The children have begun planning a diary entry, putting themselves in Selvi’s shoes and thinking carefully about how she might feel.
In DT, we have been researching a range of different bags in preparation for designing and making our own.
In Music, the children have been learning to read notes on the treble clef and playing these on the recorder.
During Personal Development, we have started to explore the role of money and costs in our lives.
In Spelling, we have been learning about homophones, such as hear and here — words that sound the same but have different spellings and meanings.
